Amy Schumer To Produce Comedy Central Pilot Starring Rachel Feinstein

Comedian Rachel Feinstein, who has appeared in several episodes of Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer, is getting a shot at her own Comedy Central series executive produced by Schumer. The network has given a pilot order to the untitled project, a field-driven sketch show that focuses on Feinstein out on the street using her social experiments and character-based comedy to explore and skewer gender, class and stereotypical issues in sketch and character-driven pieces. Schumer and Feinstein are executive producing the pilot with Kim Caramele and Honest Engine’s Nick McKinney and Meghan O’Hara.

In addition to their collaboration on Inside Amy Schumer, Schumer and Feinstein co-headlined a Women Who Kill stand-up show in 2012, which aired on Showtime.

Feinstein, a finalist on Season 7 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing who has done two Comedy Central Presents specials, is repped by Innovative Artists, Levity Entertainment Group and Jackoway Tyerman. Here is a glimpse of her stand-up and a skit featuring her and Schumer as well as their Women Who Kill cohorts Nikki Glaser and Marina Franklin.

Amy Schumer is a riot. I had never heard of her until yesterday. I was in my room eating pizza and bbq wings (they were supposed to deliver buffalo, the jerks) from Dominos in bed and I came across a Youtube video of Amy’s visit to Howard Stern. Been viewing her work (Charlie Sheen’s Roast etc) ever since. Oh, I’m still in bed. :)
